Interestingly, Musk revealed this idea in response to a tweet about muting versus blocking, and not as a direct announcement. Also, the billionaire has emphasized on the ability to mute someone\u2019s posts as a substitute to blocking of accounts.<\/p>\n<h2>What If X Deletes Block Feature<\/h2>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.72.1 --><\/p>\n<p>It is being speculated that the move to do away with the blocking feature could be intended to curtail the blocking of ads. One of the changes Musk brought in was the introduction of ads in between tweet replies. Also, the platform would continue to allow the block feature for DMs (direct messages).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It makes no sense<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.72.1 --><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1692558493255942213?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 18, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley, a popular X account, differed with Musk\u2019s views on deleting the feature. The account argued that the platform continues to suffer with the menace of trolls and spammers, who many account holders may wish to block. Elon Musk plans to transform X into the everything app for finance, which means the app would support stock market participants.<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/bitcoin-spot-etf-former-sec-chief-shares-evidence-why-approval-odds-are-slim\"><strong>Bitcoin Spot ETF: Former SEC Chief Shares Evidence Why Approval Odds Are Slim<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.72.1 --><\/p>\n<p>          &lt;!&#8211; <\/p>\n<div class=\"m-on pl-2 pr-2\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-6 pr-2\">\n<div class=\"Borderboxies_2 mb-3  fullmobx\">\n<p>            <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/top-7-crypto-marketing-firms-of-the-year\/?utm_source=abovesidebartabnews&amp;utm_medium=organicarticle\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"SponserdyWebimg_2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"834\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/15175104\/top_crypto_marketing_agencies.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"Sponserdtent_2 mt-2\">Top Crypto Marketing Firms \/ Agencies 2023; Here\u2019s Best Picks [Updated]\n <\/div>\n<p>            <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-6 pl-2\">\n<div class=\"Borderboxies_2 mb-3  fullmobx\">\n<p>            <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/top-10-web-3-games-to-explore-in-2023-here-list\/?utm_source=priceanalysisbar&amp;utm_medium=organicarticle\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"SponserdyWebimg_2\"><img width=\"834\" height=\"833\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23134356\/jpg_20221223_134223_0000.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"834\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/23134356\/jpg_20221223_134223_0000.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"Sponserdtent_2 mt-2\">Top 10 Web3 Games To Explore In 2023; Here List\n <\/div>\n<p>            <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                    &#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<div class=\"TabDicA\">\n<div class=\"TBAcon \">\n<div class=\"authorFlip tabcS\" id=\"TabA157087\">\n<div class=\"authorBox\">\n<div class=\"author_Name\">\n&lt;!&#8211;<\/p>\n<div class=\"getAuthoname\"><\/div>\n<p>&#8211;&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Anvesh reports major crypto updates around regulation, lawsuits and trading trends.
